ΙΜΒΡΟΣ (Νησί) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Sarpedonium prom (Sarpedonie akre, Herod, vii. 58), the NW. extremity of the gulf of Melas, and due north of the eastern end of the island of Imbros, now Cape Paxi.
ΑΣΣΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Satnioeis (Satnioeis: Tuzlia or Tusla), a small river in the southern part of Troas, having its sources in Mount Ida, and flowing in a western direction between Hamaxitus and Larissa, discharges itself into the Aegean. It owes its celebrity entirely to the Homeric poems. (Il. vi. 34, xiv. 445, xxi. 87; Strab. xiii. who states that at a later time it was called Saphnioeis.)
ΕΛΛΗΣΠΟΝΤΟΣ (Θαλάσσιο στενό) ΤΣΑΝΑΚΚΑΛΕ
Rhyndacus (Rhundakos), an important river in the province of Hellespontus,
which has its sources at the foot of Mount Olympus in Phrygia Epictetus, near
the town of Azani. (Scylax, p. 35; Plin. v. 40; Pomp. Mela, i. 19; Strab. xii.
p. 576.) According to Pliny, it was at one time called Lycus, and had its origin
in the lake of Miletopolis ; but this notion is incorrect. The river flows at
first in a north-western direction, forming the boundary between Mysia and Bithynia,
through the lake of Apollonia, and in the neighbourhood of Miletopolis receives
the river Megistus, and discharges itself into the Propontis opposite the island
of Besbicus. The Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius (i. 1165) states that in later
times the Rhyndacus, after receiving the waters of the Megistus, was itself called
Megistus; but Eustathius (ad Horn. Il. xiii. 771) assures us that in his time
it still bore the name of Rhyndacus. According to Valerius Flaccus (iii. 35) its
yellow waters were discernible in the sea at a great distance from its mouth.
In B.C. 73 Lucullus gained a victory over Mitlhridates on the banks of this river.
(Plut. Luc. 11; comp. Polyb. v. 17; Ptol. v. 1. § § 4, 8; Steph. B. s. v.) The
Rhyndacus is now called Lupad, and after its union with the Megistus (Susughirli)
it bears the name of Mohalidsh or Micalitza. (See Hamilton's Researches, i. p.
83, &c.)

ΠΑΚΤΥΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Leuce Acte (Leuke akte), a port on the coast of Thrace, between Pactye and Teiristasis,
which is mentioned only by Scylax of Caryanda (p. 28).
ΤΕΝΕΔΟΣ (Νησί) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
A group of small islands off the coast of Troy, to the north of Tenedos (Plin.
v. 38; comp. Eustath. ad Hom. Il. ii. p. 306). Their modern name is Taochan Adassi.
ΤΡΟΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Thymbrius (Thumbrios), a small river of Troas in the neighbourhood
of Ilium; it was a tributary of the Scamander, and on its banks stood the town
of Thymbra (Strab. xiii. p. 598; Eustath. ad Hom. Il. x. 430.) There still exists
in that district a small river called Timbrek, which, however, does not flow into
the Scamander, but into a bay of the sea; if this be the ancient Thymbrius, the
plain of Thymbra must have been at a considerable distance from> Ilium. For this
reason, Col. Leake is inclined to identify the Thymbrius rather with the Kamara
Su, which still is a tributary of the Scamander or Hendere Su (Asia Minor, p.
289.)
